"The 'Iatromathemati house book' is to be understood as astro+medical manual. It was written over or 1400 ago briefly by a layman physician from the upper-German area, which perhaps worked in Nuernberg. The text treats humans in the medieval cosmos from the point of view of layman-astrological world view and contacts the astro+medically interested house father. The work is arranged into seven main parts, in those the twelve months with komputistischem calendar and monthlyreferred health rules, which are treated twelve tierkreiszeichen and the planet children.

After these sky teachings and temper teachings follow, which a diaetetischer section follows. The different texts of ikonographischen cycles of the monthly pictures, tierkreiszeichen, planets and tempers as well as of single representations are accompanied. As sources above all volkssprachige writings became from 12. to 14. Century (Lucidarius, "rule of the health") and only within the komputistischen range latin technical literature consulted. Due to the different sources the "house book" forms a mixture made of encyclopedia, medical text book, diaetetischem treatise and different small literary works."
